Nevada - Ex-judge Jones formally disbarred

Has anyone ever seen a Family Court Judge get removed from the bench?

Las Vegas Review Journal

The Nevada Supreme Court has officially disbarred former Family Court Judge Steven Jones.

All seven justices signed the order Dec. 5.

In September, Jones informed the State Bar of Nevada that he was giving up his law license after he pleaded guilty to one felony count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud in a $2.6 million investment scheme.

As part of his plea agreement with the government, Jones also resigned from the Family Court bench. He did not seek reelection this year.
